The Arctic Owl

Too wit, too woo. What, an owl in the arctic? That’s right an owl in the arctic called the Arctic, Snowy or Great White Owl. The snowy conditions make it perfect for their white feathers to camouflage into the snow. The Snowy owl is a carnivore and has quite a lot of white plumage. The Snowy owl is one of the largest owls in the world.

Habitat
The Snowy owl's habitat is the snowy conditions of the arctic tundra ranging across Canada, Greenland, Europe and Russia. Snowy owls makes their nests on the ground in bushes, not in trees. The Snowy owl's habitat helps their camouflage because of their white feathers or plumage blending into the snow.

Appearance
It is extremely hard to see a Snowy owl because of its appearance, however you can spot the difference between a male and a female. The female has lots of distinctive black spots and the male does have some black spots, but it does not have as many as the female. Their white feathers make it perfect for hunting because their prey can't see them due to their camouflage.

Diet
The Snowy owl is a carnivore which means an animal that only eats meat. The Snowy owl eats, duck, mice, rats, fish, other birds and much more. Sometimes they eat so much they can produce a whopping 14 eggs, two times more than regular owls.

In conclusion, the Snowy owl is a magnificent owl, from laying 14 eggs to camouflaging extremely well and eating lots of meat to being one of the largest owls in the world. Overall, these are amazing, unique creatures.

Wizards - Shark Poster

In room 6 the wizards (a reading group) made posters with information on sharks, by writing up facts we found from a range of sources.  We read articles, we searched the library and we also used the internet.  We read and transferred this knowledge into our own ideas and typed out the facts and things we found important.  We printed them out and stuck them onto our posters or sharks we drew and painted. Some of us also made fish to put on and decorate. Here is a picture some of posters about sharks.  Come and check them out in room 6. 

Persausive Writing - Cooking with Insects

           Want something new and exciting for dinner? I think you should try insects. I am a chef working at a 5 star restaurant. I have been serving dishes including insects! That’s right insects! I have been serving these since 1995. Insects are low in fat, rich in vitamins and you also get to try foods from other include insects cultures. Believe it or not, many insects are edible like crickets, weevils and meal worms.

Here’s why I think you should eat insects. I think you should try insects because many insects are low in fat and rich in vitamins. I also think you should eat insects because lots of scrumptious recipes include insects like locust pizza or earth worm ice-cream, the low fat option.

Also did you know lots of cultures around the world include insects in their recipes and you can find them somewhere very close to your house, your garden so you could try new foods from other cultures with insects like sun dried Tarantulas and stuffed millipedes from Cambodia.

Actually insects are quite delicious because Huhu grubs taste like peanut butter! Some insects like weevils, crickets and meal worms are edible. So not only are insects looking yuck but they are quite delicious.

All things considered, there are many different reasons you must cook with insects! As you can see, lots of cultures around the world eat them. It is also the guilt free way of eating insects. Plus it is a healthier option if you are on a diet. At the same time you are being more adventurous and you don’t have to eat fish and chips so overall you must eat insects!
